All good suggestions.
Shenmue Endurance Run
Vinnyvania: Rondo of Blood
Metal Gear Scanlon: Rising
... is GOTY stuff Premium? If so, watch the Rock Band one. I know it sounds weird. Just do it.

GOTY stuff and Shenmue are both free, but MGS Rising is a good suggestion I blanked on.
I enjoyed Vinnyvania, but I don't know that I'd call any of them must-watch, except for maybe Bloodlines.
Just watched the UPF and it's so sad to see Drew go. Him leaving is hitting me way harder than when others have left, obviously because he's been apart of this since pretty much the beginning. Such a cool and genuine dude though, it's been a pleasure watching him on the site over all these year. I wish him the best and I hope he makes frequent visits back.

what is the best Giant Bomb video and why is it
that SOPA/PIPA "we are Wikipedia today" livestream
We still don't know what he's doing next right?
Yeah, maybe, that is a high bar for sure. Your mileage will vary according to how much enjoyment you get out of OG Beast riffin'.

I think I am finally going to start another playthrough of Persona 4 golden and watch the ER while I play.
Persona 4 always cheers me up.

After trying out the Switch yesterday and sleeping on it. I must say it's a pretty sleek system that's bare bones at the moment with an underbaked online portion(no shit). The whole friends thing is atrocious and the eshop feels dead especially since you're used to listening to eshop music(there's none currently). HOWEVER, being region free and having the ability to SWITCH between accounts on different regions is fucking awesome. The whole play anywhere feels great and docking the system as well as removing it is a very smooth and easy thing to do, not to mention, fucking quick when it switches from one screen to the next. I do recommend the pro controller though because the ones that come with the console are just OK, they're small in my hands and it's not 100% as comfortable as using the pro controller.
Zelda is legit. While I do kind of hate how aimless it feels, at the same time I love that it gives you this vast open world for you to explore and lose yourself in. It looks barren but there tons of bits and pieces you could find from items to animals and all sorts of shit spread around. It doesn't even have to be about finding something but the detail put across Hyrule really gives you an idea of what just happened a 100 years ago. Hyrule feels like a place that exists and is a character in of itself. On the other hand, the game does CHUG and it should have been better especially since I prefer playing Zelda on the big ass screen. I played for 6 or so hours and going to continue doing so this entire week. Hoping to beat it this week so I could return to Horizon lol. On the other side of the spectrum though, Snipperclips is probably the best thing on the system besides Zelda. It's use of co-op is very well implemented. It's a sharp looking game that's also charming as hell, very easy for anyone to pick up and play. Although I'm not sure about how long it is but I enjoyed the 1.5 hours I played of it in co-op.
I got 1-2 Switch as well and it's a pretty dumb game. Not 50-60$ dumb though, it is fun but at the same time there's just not a whole lot there to dig into. It's good to play in short bursts to act dumb, have a laugh or two with friends and move around a little but that's about it. Not worth it, only get it if you have disposable income.

I assume Jeff does know. I think he came close to talking about what Drew was doing on UPF and then just covered himself by saying he didn't know.

It definitely felt the most bittersweet of all the various departures over the years, aside from Ryan of course but that was just straight up depressing, since he spent the longest time at Giant Bomb of all the various former employees.

This series of film and forties is my favourite thing on the site by far right now.

I just hate having to wait a week to watch the next one!
Loved Vinny's man crush on Tyreese during this latest one lol
It was fantastic.
His infatuation with Tyrese, Eva Mendes' outfits, his descent into madness caused by the movie's stupidity.
At what point does he mention that?

He did a lovely speech where he said and I'm paraphrasing "whatever you do next, and I don't know what that is, I hope it gives you the same feeling I had when I started this site"

First one is great. Second one you can hear them straining to follow that movie or say anything. Looking forward to the third

I feel like this is a question I'm not supposed to ask, but what do o7 and <> mean?
Antiwhippy

O7 means the original 7 of the Giantbomb crew.
<> Refers to Drew's previous job as a programmer.
You have to be real inside Giantbomb to know this.

Maybe it's because it looks like something from 5 decades ago?
oh my god
I haven't laughed this hard for a long time. I am crying. Alex's face is hilarious.
Watched that this morning and it was easily one of the worst videos I have seen in my life.
